I like it. Given that we are installing into directories we'd have just
created ourselves, which should have no extraneous files in them, a lot
of the objections one might raise go away.

Why don't you go ahead and apply that to HEAD for the time being, even
if we end up replacing it later? Might as well start saving developers'
time immediately.
